I haven't had a "peek" yet, but I discovered I had to increase the Compression Value in my File/Export/Save as a .JPG dialog box up to 72 for display here in the Forum. Maybe that would help you. I even saved an icon on my top menu bar for that command and for the .PNG.

@Michele This is a change of pace for your Divas! Nice to see they can "let down their hair" on vacation! ?

Looking forward to your Red Hat stories, Anita. I've heard of the group but don't know the background so please enlighten me. ?

Daughter Laurey and granddaughter Jackie flew today to Toronto, Canada, for a 4 day vacation. I insisted they send lots of photos so I can use that for my travel layout. I told them I already have a few basic shots...

Playing with wooden frames and the nested frame. Here's a photo of GG Sonya Anne with her grandfather, Ernie, at the Sussex County Fair (aka NJ State Fair) last week. The font is Childish and the screws are AHA-Somewhere-in-Time.

These pieces were definitely a challenge for me. I like my layouts spare and uncluttered usually. I combined some pieces and doubled up on others. The central circle is white reduced to 10% opacity over the background photo. The top border is the scallop clipped to a lace ribbon. The red borders are strips filled with a red pattern called 5Geometry. I filled the beads with a gradient. The top flower is named AHA-hygge, from my stash. This is my grandson Brad and his girl, Livia back in July at an event.

I had difficulties with a pspimage layout last night in 2023 Ultimate. The layers were wonky. This morning, everything was smooth... go figure! One thing though, I can't open it in 2022 so I guess I have to update my saving conventions. Anyone know how to do that?

Carole, yes, that is the version I won in the random draw. I have also applied the new patch to fix all the "bugs"

Not for 2022 either. It is not an Ultimate, whereas 2023 was supposedly an Ultimate version.

Carole: This is what shows under Corel, I don't have anything saying Setup Files:

I activated it and it asked me if I wanted to COMPLETELY REMOVE PSP 2023. I said no and backed out.

That is possible, Suzy. I downloaded the installer from a link Carole sent me when I won a random draw. I'll try the one you mentioned and see what happens. Thanks

Here is what I have: There is a Setup folder within another Setup folder...

Hi Sherie: I think Jannette's link above is for you if you have Painter/Particle Shop plugin. It will guide you to install it so you will have it in the Effects menu under Plugins inside your PSP.

I don't have Particle Shop or Painter included with my PSP2023 Ultimate, or 2022 or 2021 or 2020.

Here's Lesson Three from the Vector Workshop - tracing a leaf. I'm doing a bit better with nodes now. Practice helps.

Particle Shop is always included with Painter. I don't have that either...

Susan, I'm in the same boat as you are. Just belatedly recalled there were freebies on the Welcome page for a new version. Unfortunately, I can find no mention of Particle Shop anywhere except in that video from the Corel Discovery Center. I have a standing link to them every Monday on my Google Calendar to see what new freebies are offered.

Susan, the "bucking bronco" situation may be tamed by using the brush variance/jitter? Corel mentions it in that tutorial video.

Susan, the Haze tool is not a one shot deal, there are several sliders to adjust.

Thank you, I'll take a look.

Carole: I'd also like to know how to activate Particle Shop's plugin inside my PSP2023 Ultimate. I can't find any instructions though I did see in in the Program Files when I was looking for the Font package, which I never got, either. Sorry, I just looked in the Program Files and can't find Particle Shop, either. I must have been seeing things yesterday. Can we get it? I think it's supposed to be under Effects/Plugins

Suzy, from what I've seen, Particle Shop is mainly specialized brushes. There's a guide to it here.
